In a shared equity loan, who does the borrower share equity with?

  1. Just the bank

  2. An investor, seller, or lender

  3. Only with government agencies

  4. No one, it's a solo investment

The correct answer is: An investor, seller, or lender

A shared equity loan involves a borrower sharing equity with a third party, such as an investor, seller, or lender. Option A is incorrect because the borrower does not only share equity with the bank. Option C is incorrect because the borrower can also share equity with private investors, not just government agencies. Option D is incorrect because the whole purpose of a shared equity loan is for the borrower to share equity with another party, so it is not a solo investment.
